👓 I’m on the FCC. Please stop us from killing net neutrality | LA Times

The FCC's plan to gut net neutrality deserves a heated response from the millions of Americans who work and create online every day.

Other than the simple “it will spur investment”, what exactly is Ajit Pai’s argument for getting rid of net neutrality? Where is it? I suspect that the only reason there’s no coverage of it anywhere amidst all the turmoil is that it doesn’t exist.

Most communities, even in major cities, only have one provider at best, so there’s absolutely no competition to begin with. Why not start with fixing that first?! In fact, that necessarily needs to be dealt with first before a bone-headed idea like killing net-neutrality.

Are you factoring in wireless into that? We are seeing just about every wireless provider offer an unlimited data plan. I see them being the biggest threat to wired internet much like they have to wired telephones. I have yet to hear of price gouging on the part of internet providers. I know people do not like their providers. But no one has a right to liking their provider nor a right to internet access for that matter.
